Southern Cook has been visited by many radio amateurs, but the hard point with
N. Cook for years has been with the transportation. Now when there are flights
from S. Cook to the N. Cook (Manihiki and Pukapuka, but
they are typically always full) the problem is only accomodation and
electricity. There was a nice article about Pukapuka in the Autumn 1995 edition
of NCDXF Newsletter. For any further details contact
